CLEVELAND, June 20 (UPI) -- The chief U.S. immigration judge has ruled that 85-year-old John Demjanjuk can be deported because of his Nazi service in World War II.
The retired auto-worker from Cleveland was once suspected of being the infamous concentration guard "Ivan the Terrible," and was sentenced to death in Israel in the 1988, but the Israeli Supreme Court ruled there was not enough evidence to show he was "Ivan."
However, once back in the United he was tried again in federal court in Cleveland, convicted of his role as an armed guard at two Nazi extermination camps in German-occupied Poland and stripped of his naturalized citizenship.
U.S. prosecutors argued that Demjanjuk lied about his past when he entered the United States as a refugee after the war.
Demjanjuk was born in what is now Ukraine.
